Manchester Geological Association Event

On Saturday September 19th the Manchester Geological Association will be holding an Introduction to Geology event.

As with the previous event, and a successful course at this year’s NW u3a Summer School, it is aimed at the amateur geologist, both the established amateur and those totally new to the subject.

It will be held at the University of Manchester Williamson Building, 176 Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9QQ.

There is no charge for the event and there will be complimentary refreshments.

Booking isn't essential but ideally let us know on niallclarke01@gmail.com so we can get the right number of biscuits.
